Which colleges have the "gunners" in their pre-med classes?

*Ok I feel like I have to step in and defend my college’s honor here. Never in my classes have their ever been sabotagers. I think its a midwest thing but everyone cooperates. *

I agree…I don’t think it is a Midwest (or Southern) thing to do. Although I wouldn’t go out on a limb and claim that these areas are “sabotage free zones.”

this kind of behavior also seems more limited to the hard science/engineering type of majors in the higher ranked schools. Probably not found in the humanities nor the lower ranked schools.

My niece was at UCSD where the sabotaging went on. Certainly not by most of the students, but enough for my niece to notice and comment about it. She has since graduated.

My other niece at SLO has not seen this behavior.

My nephew at UCLA has seen some of this.

My nephew at Vandy, has not.

My niece at Tulane has not.

My nephew at Tufts has only completed one semester, so he has no feelings yet on the subject. He’s a low key kid, so no one probably bothers him.

I could go on…I have nearly 50 nieces and nephews who have recently been thru college, are currently in college, or soon will be in college. (That’s what H and I get for coming from big families.)
